“Over the last 5 years I have worked on developing interactive magnetic paintings – an approach to painting which I find to be addictive, playful and also highly challenging. I started making these pieces because I had two small children and could not focus on doing large compositions. For each painting I have carefully made and selected individual pieces which can be moved and positioned to anywhere on the surface of the painting, thus changing the composition and narrative. These works are designed so that any person (even the non-artist!) can successfully engage in the creative process and communicate something of themselves through the work”
